Is the grammar better?

[Canadian Crippler]

You challenged my biceps. I really had no other choice.

[Stumprrp]

nice job mitch

[Canadian Crippler]

Tommorow I got Bench and Chins 2x10 @ 70%. Which is 165lbs bench and BW chins. I'll go nice and heavy on the skullcrushers to really blast those triceps.

[Guido]

Sweet. I'll bet you have the best tri's on your whole block by now. :D

[Canadian Crippler]

Ok let's see..

Bench Press I got 185 for 3 sets of 8
BB Row I got 195 for 2 sets of 8
Deadlifts I got 307 for 2 sets of 8
Front Squats I got 195 for 2 sets of 8
Leg Press I got 5pps+25 for 2 sets of 8
Military Press I got 135 for 1 set of 5

So as you can see I've completed the 2x10 and 2x8 portion of my routine and I'm on to 3x5 (then 3x3 after). I'm surprised at how bad my muscular endurance is. The first sets on everything (except for BB Rows, and Millies since it was one set) flew up. 4+ reps to spare. The second/third sets were close to failure.

Also started squats now instead of front squats. Second session squatting since 8 months ago was today, on no sleep (pulled an all nighter). Looked something like:

12 x 95
10 x 135
6 x 185
6 x 205
6 x 225
5 x 255
4 x 275
8 x 225

Obviously weaker than my previous bests but I'm quite happy with the numbers considering it's the 2nd squat session in 8 months + no sleep + my quads and lower back were on fire the whole tme. Squats are king. Every set burned like crazy, even the 135. My body isn't used to these anymore haha.

One thing I have to address is the flexibility. I've lost a lot from not squatting & having crap joints on accutane and subsequently couldn't get quite ATF today without my lower back rounding. Below parallel for sure, but definitely not as deep as I used to go.

So I totally ****ed up my hamstring doing leg curls after this. Had to bail out. It feels WAAAY better now thankfully. I'm gonna get some blood flow back in the legs soon and stretch it out good.

Weight = 197lbs.

[Stumprrp]

finally posted lol, nice lifting, almost 200lbs get some pics up

[Canadian Crippler]

I'll be putting up pics at the end of my bulk. Right now, based on how fat I am, that's 13lbs more minimally. I'm hoping to hit 215-220 before I cut though. I always look a good 15lbs lighter than I actually am so I'll need to be heavier to look decent after a cut.

[Stumprrp]

lol i hear you dude, im 18-19% and im bulking :D i really dont care what the hoes at the beach think.

[Hockey66]

lol i hear you dude, im 18-19% and im bulking :D i really dont care what the hoes at the beach think.

Yeah, I've got a girlfriend so I don't care either, lol. If she dumps me because I'm getting fat she's not worth it, at least that's my theory :p.

I'm planning to bulk up do a nice, big, fat weight, then get shredded for next summer.

[Canadian Crippler]

I don't care how fat I get because I don't plan on revealing my (hopefully temporary) bacne scars anytime soon.

We should start a trio of fatness.

[Stumprrp]

hell yes, fat, strong, handsome gentlemen, what else do women want? :D sorry about the scars bro my friend has them too, im sure they will fade.

[WBBIRL]

If your starting a fat man posse, you have to include earl.

[mrelwooddowd]

damn mitch. your bench is strong. your deads are strong. your squat is great, whether it's been 8 months or not..lol

[Guido]

Dammit, Crippy. You're almost as heavy as me, again!

Nice lifts, homey.

[Canadian Crippler]

Bump. :D

Workout tonight.

[Canadian Crippler]

Got in a peasant Chest/Delt/Tri session. Well, it was nice. I'm still weak though, lol.


May 10, 2007
Push
warmup: 5 min basketball + cuban presses + cable cubans

DB Incline Press @ 45 degrees:
8 x 70s
6 x 70s
10 x 65s
- Peasantry.

Flat DB Flies:
12 x 35s
10 x 35s
10 x 35s
- Ew.

Standing Barbell Military Press:
8 x 115
6 x 115
10 x 95
- Disgusting.

Seated DB Side Lateral Raises:
10 x 25s
10 x 25s
- Meh.

Straight Bar Pressdowns:
8 x 85
7 x 85
10 x 70
- Surprised with this one, as this is as strong as I've ever been on this movement (even when my big 3 were much higher).

Reverse Single-Arm Pressdowns:
10 x 20
12 x 15
- asdasasd


Overall, the numbers suck ass. They aren't any worse than expected though, and should shoot up soon times.

I've gained like 4lbs in the last ~5 days or so, haha. Just gotta wait to see if that was water and such or if I need to lower cals.

[Stumprrp]

you will be back in no time man

[bdckr]

What the heck have you been up to Mitch? Thought about you when the news about Benoit came out.

[KevinStarke]

Trying to get it back myself too man, it'll come back quick.

[Guido]

I think he's crying in a dark corner somewhere...

[Unholy]

Yup eating emo chocolates trying to blow himself.

[WBBIRL]

If your starting a fat man posse, you have to include earl.

Why do I totally not remember posting that?

So hows the bulk going homefries?


- Earl

[Canadian Crippler]

Alright lol. Been making good gains just not posting.

Last time I posted was when I decided to change all my incline presses to a higher angle (level "3" from "2"). At this time I did DB Incline with 70s for 8 reps. That was roughly 2 months and some change ago. I recently did 90s for 6 reps, so that should be an indicator of my push gains.
Moved 195 for 6 on Incline BB too. It's pussy lol but the movement has always given me trouble, I was only moving 165 for reps when I was at two plates on flat bench.

I've also decided that my lats and lower back overpower my rhomboids/traps. My pull days are now mainly focused around pronated/neutral rows with a big "squeeze" on each rep. Yep, that sounds ridiculous and straight out of FLEX or something lol. None the less I've been doing this for 4 years so I've been able to find what works best for me, and what I just outlined seems to work most efficiently. Anyways, because of this my numbers on pull are and will be lower from last week onward. 2 weeks ago I did 220 for 8 on CG lat pulldown, 8 sets of 8 on wide-grip pullups, and 215 for 8 on BB Rows (45 degrees) with decent form.

Lower body training has lightened completely. I've fallen into some injuries in the past year (hamstring pull for 8 weeks and bad knees for months). I've been using a Microlactin/Glucosamine complex for a few weeks now and it's helped beyond belief. Have started to increase the numbers now but only for a few weeks, so nothing impressive lol. 365 for 4 on deads and 6pps for 3x10 on leg press.

Overall my training is honestly completely different than before. I put a lot of emphases on very good form, slow negatives, getting a good range of motion and the concept of TUT (time under tension). Again, changed to this because I've experimented enough and find this works best in terms of anabolism and in terms of health.

Stats are 5'10", 189lbs, ...Lean LOL.
Based off my BF% now vs last time I was at this weight, it only seems like I've added about ~4-5 lbs of muscle or so. I must be under estimating what 4-5lbs because it looks about double that to me in the mirror lol. Taking pics though so we'll see.

[Unholy]

Welcome back, crackhead.

[Guido]

'Bout time you posted on here again. BTW, I'm a mod now, so look out!

[Canadian Crippler]

You have such nice deltoids.

[Chubrock]

Just when I thought we were getting rid of the riff raff...

[Canadian Crippler]

Just when I thought each and every muscle fibre of your serratus major was in an anabolic state...

[Chubrock]

Haha go work your upper pecs man.

[Canadian Crippler]

Nice delts.

I was wondering what happened to your ass, welcome back. This time I got a 2 month head start on you biatch!

[Canadian Crippler]

I'm back bitches! This time it's for real. Details to follow.

Any familiar faces still around?

[Invain]

Damn, long time man.

[cphafner]

Wow another old guy returns. This thread is a like a who's who of old school WBB

[Coke]

Most if not all the people I know have hit the types of spells or moments you are speaking of, so not usual at all...for the most part, a maturing process taking place.

Getting back to condition will take just a small bit of time, the weights will seem heavy at first but no big deal. Now that you are resuming things and lifting, expect big gains to come at first.

The most interesting or what stood out most of what you wrote is the fact that you are studying film, this is totally intriquing. I periodically like forming sketches or screenplays, just sitting back and writing in general to translate into the screen. Anything associated with it is awesome, particularly the writing and directing.

I guess I just hold myself to a high standard... not satisfied unless I'm always moving forward within some endeavor.

I hope you're right about them noob gains! It'll be interesting to see how it goes, as most people in this beginning stage don't usually have the knowledge base I do in regards to training/nutrition. Hopefully muscle memory is still "in tact" as well.

And another film guy! Freakin' wicked. I never knew that about you, I was into it back in the old days too. I'll be studying it however mostly for the theory; I'm mainly interested in the directing aspect as well. However I've had 10+ years of practice with editing so it would be illogical to ignore that skill set. We'll see how it goes. You got any work online to show off? I'm always down to read new sketches.


----------------------------------------------------------


Today's workout consisted of nothing but cardio and stretching

- Elliptical: 15 minutes, 2 alternating intervals @ 2:30. Interval 1 was 10% slope 10% resistance, Interval 2 was 40% slope 60% resistance

~3 minutes rest

- Treadmill: 10 minutes @ 4.5mph @ 5 degrees slope

Well the numbers are pretty bad, however not much worse than I used to be. I was never too good at aerobic activity. This will become part of my goals now however. If there's one thing I'd like to do different this time, it's train more healthy. The lack of cardio will change this time around. My old 6000 calorie diet was filled with McDonalds and sugars, that will change. My joints used to hurt bad from pushing it too far too often, that will change too.

I may be sidelined for a few days now as some of my pals are planning another camping trip and I may tag along. We shall see, but it sure as hell will be it's own workout in and of itself anyways.

[Chubrock]

Jesus dude, you sound like you were one of my typical customers. Good to see you turning shit around and back in here.

[Canadian Crippler]

You used to chop?

[Chubrock]

You used to chop?

Haha no, I was referencing the little hoodlums I get to take to jail from time to time. Good to see you moving yourself in a more defined direction.

[Meat_Head]

Welcome back crippler, your update on the last six years reads a bit, er, more like exactly like mine, 'cept in Canada instead of Texas. Don't worry about lost strength, when I started back again I cramped up and almost died with 155lbs on squats lol.

[Canadian Crippler]

Thanks fellas.

I'm still sore as hell from the full body workout. I might start supplementing with MicroLactin off the bat as I remember that really helped with DOMS. If anyone knows any good products that have come out in the past few years for that let me know.

Comments:

I was looking forward to ordering some products from ALN during today's sale... then I saw the shipping costs. Upper is tomorrow or the day after.

[Canadian Crippler]

Hmph. Looks like I will need to find a new place to workout. :angel:

I'm currently on a free trial with Extreme Fitness in Toronto. I have 10 days to cancel for a full refund (as per a consumers act here), or else I'm charged for the full year, so I've made it a point to do some research. I ended up finding this blog (http://www.blogto.com/fitness/extreme) which has literally hundreds of negative reviews against the gym.

I present them with this and ask them what their response is to these reviews. "You must be ignorant if you take the word of random people over the internet", to which I replied, "Are you telling me I wouldn't be ignorant if I took the word of the sales manager?" Things continued on like this... i.e. he didn't defend his company against any of the claims, just belittled the nature of random reviews on the internet. With a contractual commitment of $600, there really wasn't much choice but to cancel the membership.

And so I'm off to hunt for a new gym, and thus todays workout is up in the air.

[Canadian Crippler]

"Upper"


:: BB Bench Press ::
bar x 12
bar x 12
95 x 10

:: Incline DB Press ::
10s x 12
25s x 12
40s x 8
35s x 8
- These felt much smoother

:: Pullups ::
BW x fail
- Yeah, I couldn't do one pullup today rofl. Forearms cramped up instantly. I actually did 10 during the full-body workout a few days ago. At this point I decided to ditch upper and go with just push

:: Standing BB Press ::
50 x 12
70 x 8
70 x 6
- Weak but felt smooth

:: Cable Crossovers ::
30(x2) x 6
30(x2) x 6
30(x2) x 6
- Fucking pulleys broke after set 1 so I couldn't change the weight. These were pretty tough and my form was awful :zipit:

:: Seated DB Lateral Raise ::
8s x 15
15s x 12
15s x 8
15s x 7
- Got a question about this in the comments section below

40 x 8
30 x 12
- Someone fixed the pulleys!



Activities/Other:

:: Warmup ::
Treadmill - 2 mins - 2.5mph
Treadmill - 3 mins - 4.5mph

:: Cooldown ::
Rower - 3 mins




Comments:

I ended up at an old gym in my old area. Got in pretending it was my first time which deems a free day pass. One thing I miss about that trial gym though: the cooldown room.

A question regarding Lateral Raises: I noticed it felt more natural to do the motion with an underhand grip as opposed to the usual hammer grip. Is there anything wrong with doing them underhand?

Tomorrow is pull.

[Coke]

My lateral raises are done overhanded as opposed to underhanded, mainly a matter of personal style and what's more comfortable to you - best to vary 'em and see what you like most.

Sessions are looking solid. Good luck settling into a new spot to lift at.

[JSully]

Wow another old guy returns. This thread is a like a who's who of old school WBB
thats fsho, though a few of us have changed our names like Belial and myself.



- Elliptical: blah blah blah blah

~3 minutes rest

- Treadmill: blah blah blah blah

jesus christ man, your first workout log and it's all cardio? WTF??

good to see you back.

[Chubrock]

Cardio bunny. Ha. Good job getting back into it.

[mrelwooddowd]

Good to see you back at it. Since you're a semi-adult now im wondering what you do for a living??

[Canadian Crippler]

Terry - Thanks bud, I'm still on the prowl for a new gym .

Jake - Heh, I'm gonna be training like a bitch compared to before, at least for the first little while :french:

Chubs - Congrats on the new wifey brah. Didn't catch that post before.

Pat - As of right now I'm unemployed and plan to be until September; I was at UofT this past academic year. Before that I worked in real estate as an assistant agent selling new homes. Come September I'll be focusing part-time on building a film portfolio, part-time on landing a new job (still got the assistant agent gig open if needed).

Lower


:: Squats ::
bar x 12
95 x 10
135 x 8
135 x 8
135 x 8
- Form was better than last time, stability was stronger, and weight was far easier to move around. The only issue now is flexibility; I can't get ass-to-floor without my lower back rounding significantly.

:: Leg Press ::
1pps x 8
1pps x 8
1pps x 10
- This felt fucking awkward. The last set was far easier and smoother than the first 2 though, so I'm sure time is the remedy here.

:: SLDL ::
bar x 10
95 x 8
135 x 8
135 x 8
135 x 8
- Form is just too important here. Keeping it nice and light until I'm confident with it.

:: Seated Leg Extensions SS Seated Leg Curls ::
20 x 12 / 20 x 12
30 x 12 / 30 x 12
30 x 12 / 30 x 12
- The gym was closing so I had to sneak this in quick. The leg curls used to instantly cramp up my hamstring and the extensions never felt great on the knees. I'll be keeping these light for several weeks just to make sure that isn't a problem once again.



Activities/Other:

:: Warmup ::
Rower - 2:30 - default resistance
Stairmaster - 2:30 - default resistance

:: Cooldown ::
No time =(



Comments:

Hit up a day pass at this pretty hardcore, old school gym just 5 minutes north of me. Lacks the fancy extras the other gyms I've tried had (cold room, tanning salons, steam rooms, towel service, etc). I'm actually considering signing up to the scam-fest of a gym again, just for access to the cold room. It's that good after a workout.

Kept things light so nothing was to failure here. My endurance on the squats/leg press were awful however; while I could have added more weight I'm not sure I could have added many more reps.

Pull today or tomorrow, then I'm gonna lay out a proper routine.

------------------------------------

As for some goals: My 24th birthday is in late January. By Feb/2013 I want to be:
- Pushing 2pps for 3RM
- Squatting 3pps for 1RM
- Pulling 4pps for 1RM

This is roughly where I was at during my peak.

[Bako Lifter]

thats fsho, though a few of us have changed our names like Belial and myself.



jesus christ man, your first workout log and it's all cardio? WTF??

good to see you back.

Oh shit, youre little Jake? I remember you now. I see you in invains journal and never knew where you came from.

Crip - I'm interested in seeing how fast you get back to your old levels. I too quit lifting for like 2 years after giving in to some other temptations. It's kind of frustrating at first but the strength and size comes very fast.

[JSully]

Oh shit, youre little Jake? I remember you now. I see you in invains journal and never knew where you came from.

my reputation preceeds me? lol

yeah, I switched my name a while back, in 2009 or something like that. I started keeping a log again in 2010, though I only update once or twice/week. Goals are way different than they used to be, mainly focused around Highland Games, Strongman and Powerlifting whereas before was a lot of strength and bodybuilding shit. Definitely alot more fun to train the way I do now. Though I'm either getting old or I just beat myself up more with the heavier stuff, because I feel awful all the time. hahaha

[Coke]

That cold room you speak of must be beast, I'd definitely be going for the convenience with the hardcore gym, can do without the so called extras these days. Go for what you need most and see fit.

On another note, may want to clean out your mail box on here, no room to send this note, I saw your post in my journal:


Do you isolate hams at all in this routine? I noticed it's mainly just squats/presses

my answer is this, I have actually been skipping hams among other things the past few weeks, but that won't always be the case. Good catch Mitch.

[Canadian Crippler]

Bako- Yeah I hope so, thanks. I can feel the strength coming back on some movements, but without a proper diet yet the size gains will be a coin toss.

Jake - You're getting old. :smoke:

Coke - Thanks for pointing that out, I've cleared some space now. The good thing about the cold room gym is that it's also pretty hardcore, so I wouldn't be sacrificing much if I sign up there. The only sacrifice would be my dignity, considering I know that they are in the business of misleading people through tactics comparable to that of a used car salesman.

Cardio


:: Treadmill Intervals ::
Interval 1: 2:00 - 3.5mph @ 4.5 slope
Interval 2: 2:00 - 5.0mph @ 4.5 slope
Total time: 15:00

- This was quite tough and really shouldn't be. I'll say it's an improvement though, it's comparable to last sessions workout and I felt less tired from it.



Activities/Other:

:: Warmup ::
Stairmaster - 3:00 - default resistance

:: Cooldown ::
Treadwill - 2:30 - 2.5mph @ 4.5 slope



Comments:

I actually wanted to do pull today however I only had 25 minutes until the gym closed.







Monday July 2, 2012




Upper (pull)


:: Pullups ::
BW x 3
- I have no idea how I pumped out 10 @ BW my first workout back. I felt pretty fresh here, yet there's the result.

:: Pulldowns ::
70 x 10
90 x 10
100 x 8
- In place of the usual pullups

:: Standing BB Rows ::
bar x 12
95 x 10
95 x 8
95 x 8
- Using a supinated grip now which always felt more natural, as opposed to pronated as I did last week. Still getting used to this movement, particularly the balance/strength involved in staying bent over without it intruding in the quality of the set.

:: T-Bar Machine Rows ::
+25 x 8
+25 x 8
+25 x 8
- Felt fucking weird. I'll be re-evaluating this movement, I always felt that the inability to use my lower back for a bit of momentum caused my biceps to completely take over. This felt like that.

:: Wide-Grip Pulldowns ::
70 x 10
80 x 8
80 x 8
- No idea what else to do :scratch: need to be more prepared moving forward!

:: DB Shrugs ::
45s x 12
55s x 10
55s x 10
- Tried 1 set with the barbell first. Shoulder was already saying no after the first rep. Same story when I was in the game before too.

:: EZ-Bar Preacher Curls ::
50 x 4
- The joints in my wrist were getting a better workout than my biceps, so that was that.

:: Standing DB Curls ::
25s x 5
20s x 6
- My left arm is about 2 reps weaker than my right, rofl. I had almost corrected this at a point, sucky to see it's back to square one.



Activities/Other

:: Warmup ::
Stairmaster - 2:30 - default resistance
Stretching routuine

:: Cooldown ::
No time =(



Comments

Workout was cut a bit short as the gym closed 2 hours earlier than usual. I have a couple questions for y'all:

1) I have a multivitamin here that I bought about 6 years ago. It expired around 3 years ago. Is there any point in using it still? I don't mind if a few vitamins/minerals are "inert" if the rest are still fine to take. Also, any health implications?

2) I have minor pectus excavatum. Now that the muscles have drooped off, I can see it's the main reason why my chest always seemed so poorly developed. Is there a way to effectively overdevelop chest over a long period of time? I know I could just focus on working chest for several months, however I'm going to guess that once I start working the other muscle groups significantly too, they will catch up over-time and even out. Is there any way to avoid this? I want to maintain over-development of chest/tricep muscles, without having to consistently lessen the development of other muscles to maintain it.

[Coke]

Pull day work is real nice, digging all the cardio too.

[Chubrock]

How does your split lay out?

[Canadian Crippler]

Ideally it's:

Upper (push emphasis)
Lower (pull emphasis)
Rest (cardio)
Upper (pull emphasis)
Lower (push emphasis)
Rest
Rest (cardio)

Same routine I used when at my peak before.

[Invain]

Any future goals, or are you just trying to get back into shape?

[Canadian Crippler]

Alright lads, haven't updated this in about a week. Hit up a gym inside of my buddy's apartment building twice this week. One upper, one lower, but nothing worth nothing since the equipment there is crap. I'll be back at a normal gym tomorrow I believe.


Any future goals, or are you just trying to get back into shape?Mostly looking to add mass.

[mrelwooddowd]

The multivitamin will depend in the half life of what's in it. I would just look it up for the main ingredients.


Good stuff. Glad to see you back at it.

Gonna be a filmmaker, eh? Sounds like a good time!

[JSully]

Oh yeeeeeeah, this forum. Whoops, I gotta stop ditching out like this. I keep forgetting how much I love the gallantly obscure personalities on here. :D.

Well I got an update for you lads, and it's not that I've been slacking. Ended up on an impromptu trip about a few days after my last post. Things kind of spun off from there and I haven't been settled in one place for more than a small amount of time since. Due to excessively large data roaming charges by our wonderful ISPs over in Canada (by wonderful, I mean disastrous) I haven't seen the point in updating any workouts as it would be rather arbitrary. All that said training and diet has been going alright. Added about ~8lbs with minimal amounts of fat. Can't complain considering I never went to the same gym more than a handful of time or ate in the same town more than a couple handfuls of times. Strength is hard to determine, kind of been drawn out / hungover almost every time I've worked out unfortunately. Yes that will stop.

Today however I write to you (the few that are actually reading this... hey how's it going!) from back at home. I suspect I'll have the gym and such settled here in about 2 weeks. I'll be updating this journal again at that point.

Cheers and hope the iron has treated my brothers well.
